To fix the issue, repair the software, then uninstall it. You can then reinstall it.

Repair the software

If the Windows installer is not working, you can remove the earlier version of the software you want to install before you install the new one. Installing software without removing the older version can sometimes cause unexpected issues. Use these steps for Windows programs. If you're having problems with an app you got from Microsoft Store, go to Fix problems with apps from Microsoft Store. The Program Install and Uninstall troubleshooter helps you automatically repair issues when you're blocked from installing or removing programs.

  1. Open 'Uninstall a Program' from the Windows Control Panel (Windows 10 steps).
  2. Select the program that you're trying to remove, then select Repair. Follow the prompts to complete the repair process.
  3. Try to uninstall the program.
  4. Repeat steps 2 through 4 for each program that you want to reinstall or uninstall.
  5. After you uninstall all Apple Software, you can reinstall iTunes or iCloud for Windows.

If you can't uninstall all Apple software or still see the error message after you reinstall the software, continue below.
